Oceania Cruises has revealed that from January 7, 2026, it will accept only guests aged 18 and older for new reservations. Existing bookings with under-18s before this date remain honoured. The change aims to enhance onboard serenity and sophistication.
Research from repeat guests, travel partners, and new clients informed the decision. Feedback praised the line’s tranquil atmosphere and service pace, appealing to mature travellers. The policy applies to all future voyages.
The transition responds to guest preferences for an unhurried experience. It positions the brand for affluent adults seeking discovery in a calm setting. No changes affect prior commitments.
Jason Montague shared “Our guests have consistently shared that the tranquil environment aboard our ships is one of the primary reasons they return time and time again. By transitioning to an adults-only experience, we are enhancing the very essence of the Oceania Cruises journey – one defined by sophistication, serenity and discovery. The brand said it conducted extensive research, which provided feedback from loyal repeat guests, experienced travel partners, and new-to-brand guests.”
